Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of test chamber technology, and in particular to an anti-condensation test chamber. Background Technology
[0002] A test chamber is a device used for product reliability testing, providing a stable temperature and humidity environment for the test. In existing test chambers, when the product surface temperature is lower than the ambient air temperature, moisture in the air easily condenses on the product surface, causing condensation. Some product testing standards are extremely stringent, explicitly stipulating that condensation is absolutely not allowed on the product surface throughout the entire testing process. If condensation occurs, it means the testing process does not meet the specifications, and the test results will be inaccurate due to interference. However, existing test chambers generally lack effective anti-condensation functions, thus failing to meet the testing needs of products with strict requirements for condensation control.

The insulation layer 12 is used for insulation. The second housing 16 is the equipment room. The nitrogen tank 2 is the nitrogen source. The pressure reducing valve 21 is used to regulate the gas supply pressure. The pressure gauge 22 is used to monitor the gas supply pressure. The first electric proportional valve 23 is used to control the gas supply flow. The inlet pipe 24 is used to deliver nitrogen to the second pressure-bearing housing 13. The second electric proportional valve 3 is fixedly connected to the first housing 1. The input end of the second electric proportional valve 3 is connected to the first exhaust pipe 31, and the first exhaust pipe 31 is connected to the second pressure-bearing housing 13. The output end of the second electric proportional valve 3 is connected to a second exhaust pipe 32. The second electric proportional valve 3 is used to control the exhaust flow rate. The first exhaust pipe 31 is used to send air into the second electric proportional valve 3, and the second exhaust pipe 32 is used to exhaust the air in the second electric proportional valve 3.

A heater 4 is fixedly connected inside the second pressure-bearing housing 13. The heater 4 is used to heat the inside of the second pressure-bearing housing 13. The first housing 1 is fixedly connected to... A motor 5 is provided, and a rotating shaft 51 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 5. A fan wheel 52 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 51 and is located inside the second pressure-bearing housing 13. The motor 5 drives the rotating shaft 51, which in turn drives the fan wheel 52, which promotes airflow circulation within the second pressure-bearing housing 13. A dew point sensor 7 and a differential pressure sensor 8 are fixedly connected to the first housing 1.

The evaporator 62 is fixedly connected inside the second pressure-bearing housing 13, and its output end is conductively connected to the input end of the compressor 6. The refrigerant inside the evaporator 62 evaporates under low pressure, absorbing heat from the surrounding air, thereby achieving a cooling effect on the inside of the second pressure-bearing housing 13. After evaporation, the refrigerant changes from a liquid to a gaseous state. The compressor 6 draws in the low-temperature, low-pressure gaseous refrigerant from the evaporator 62 and compresses it, increasing its pressure and temperature, transforming it into a high-temperature, high-pressure gaseous refrigerant. To create conditions for the liquefaction of the refrigerant in the condenser 61, the condenser 61 is used for heat dissipation of the refrigerant. A heat dissipation vent 17 is provided on the second housing 16 at a position corresponding to the condenser 61, for ventilation and heat dissipation of the condenser 61. A second door 18 is hinged to the second housing 16, and a control panel 19 is fixedly connected to the second door 18.

The second door 18 is used to close the second housing 16, and the control panel 19 is used to control the operation of the equipment.
[0022] Working Principle: When using this invention, the required low-temperature environment value for the product is set, and the compressor 6 starts working, refrigerating through the evaporator 62. The nitrogen inlet pressure is adjusted by the pressure reducing valve 21, and the pressure is monitored by the pressure gauge 22. The first electric proportional valve 23 is opened, and nitrogen from the nitrogen tank 2 enters the second pressure-bearing housing 13 through the inlet pipe 24. The motor 5 is started, driving the impeller 52 via the shaft 51. The second electric proportional valve 3 is then activated, and air from the second pressure-bearing housing 13 enters the second electric proportional valve 3 through the first exhaust pipe 31 and is then discharged through the second exhaust pipe 32. The parameters of the dew point sensor 7 and the differential pressure sensor 8 are set. The first electric proportional valve 23 and the second electric proportional valve 3 control the nitrogen inlet and exhaust volume through a program until the dew point and differential pressure reach the set parameter values. The compressor 6 continues to work, keeping the entire product in the required low-temperature environment. The cooling process continues until the desired set temperature is reached. Nitrogen gas is continuously introduced throughout the cooling process, and the pressure of the second pressure-bearing housing 13 is kept constant. This ensures that the desired dew point value is reached first, and then the surface temperature of the product is reduced to the corresponding temperature range, thereby achieving the goal of preventing condensation on the product surface during the entire cooling process. The first pressure-bearing housing 11 and the second pressure-bearing housing 13 are used to improve the pressure-bearing capacity of the first housing 1. The first door 14 is used to close the first housing 1, and the second door 18 is used to close the second housing 16. The insulation layer 12 is used for insulation. The observation window 15 is used to facilitate observation of the internal condition of the second pressure-bearing housing 13. The second housing 16 is the equipment room. The control panel 19 is used to control the operation of the equipment. The condenser 61 is used for heat dissipation of the refrigerant. The heat dissipation vent 17 is used for ventilation and heat dissipation of the condenser 61. The heater 4 is used to heat the interior of the second pressure-bearing housing 13.
